[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS - summer bridge program. He doesn't want to do that. He wants to spend his last summer at home and needs to work to earn money. Very disappointed. Didn't know this was even a possibility. It sounds like a program that's for kids who they're not sure are ready to be college students without additional support and mentoring. Based on his stats (4.1 weighted, 1380 SAT, 10 APs, leadership positions), I just don't get it.

Does anyone know more about this program?[/quote]

Clemson had a higher yield rate last year than expected. Some majors are on overload with kids.  Numbers just didn't go his way.

The bridge program allows students to live on campus and participate in activities (but no fraternity or sorority rush) but they attend a local community college the first year.  They live on campus and have a shuttle to the community college.  It is fairly well thought of and a lot of students have gone on and done well - not a scarlet letter type of thing. OOS it is 20k cheaper first year so that is a bonus.

Your kids stats are pretty good. You can always appeal.  [/quote]
